Re: Causes of vomiting?/Furballs


Several of mine regularly vomit despite nothing being wrong. Sometimes it is due to hairballs even though a hairball doesn't always appear ( this is usually Angel ) and other times it is biscuits brought back simple because they have pigged out ( cory is the main culprit here ). If her coat is sleek and shiny, her gums look healthy, her eyes and nose are clear with no third eyelid coming over and she is general well I would say you have nothing to worry about.

Re: Causes of vomiting?/Furballs


One of my cats will often vomit right after he eats. I am trying to make sure he is not too hungry when I feed him & if he is eating to eagerly, I will take the food away for a few minutes just to get him to realize if he is really more hungry or not. When I've done this it seems to help but I still don't really see a common denominator for his vomiting. Sometimes he will eat a regular meal & be fine, another time he will eat the same way & vomit. Go figure.
I might try the elevated dish approach. I knew they did that with tall dogs but the way cats crouch when they eat, I didn't think they would have a problem from that.

Re: Causes of vomiting?/Furballs


I know this isn't my thread, but I found the replies quite reassuring as for the past few days Misty has been sick rather a lot too. It is usually his dried food he brings up and it can be a bit watery. he seems okay in himself, if a little quieter than usual and he is still eating. I was thinking of taking him to the vets, but may wait and see how he goes. He does have bouts os sickness and has been to the vet before because of this, however the vet thought he was otherwise healthy.

Sorry to intrude on your thread, I was going to start one myself!

Re: Causes of vomiting?/Furballs


Well after all that she hasn't done it since I posted

I am making sure I give her a thorough grooming every day with a fine toothed flea comb to catch all the loose hair and although she doesn't seem too impressed about the grooming I am getting tons of hair out!

Touch wood the sicky period is over
